Bulk measurement of membrane permeability for random cyclic peptides in living cells to guide drug development

Christian Heinis, Anne Sofie Luise Zarda, Alexander Lund Nielsen

Cyclic peptides are attractive for drug discovery due to their excellent binding properties and the potential to cross cell membranes. However, by far not all cyclic peptides are cell permeable, and measuring or predicting their membrane permeability is no ...

Discovery of De Novo Macrocycle Inhibitors of Histone Deacetylase 11

Christian Heinis, Anne Sofie Luise Zarda, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Edward Jeffrey Will

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes are epigenetic regulators that affect diverse protein function by removing acyl groups from lysine side chains throughout the proteome. The most recently discovered human isozyme, HDAC11, differs from other HDACs in subst ...

Solid-phase peptide synthesis in 384-well plates

Christian Heinis, Anne Sofie Luise Zarda, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Sevan Mleh Habeshian, Gontran Sangouard, Mischa Schüttel, Edward Jeffrey Will

Newer solid-phase peptide synthesis and release strategies enable the production of short peptides with high purity, allowing direct screening for desired bioactivity without prior chromatographic purification. However, the maximum number of peptides that ...
